ne of the things we all have to do in life is to dream. Young and old, dreams are inspirational; they are a form of reality that we have to work towards to bring to life. In hindsight, a vision and a dream that motivate us to our thoughts into a powerful reality grow and bloom into a great accomplishment in our lives. Harriet Tubman once said, “Every dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world”. Tshepo Modise, famously known as Cruz Afrika proved just exactly. For what started to him as dream, grew to be a vision, to a motivation to him to work towards making that a reality and make it a reality. Afrika was born and raised in grimy streets of Taung in the province known as the platinum province, North West. The North West province has

5 TYPES OF EYESHADOW and how to use them by Tamlyn Cumings

1. POWDER EYESHADOW Also known as pressed powder since the pigment is pressed and compacted into containers, this is probably the most common of the types of eyeshadow, and the one everyone is familiar with. Pressed eyeshadow is great for beginners and those a bit more

Opt for a matte or shimmery finish (we recommend that more mature ladies stay away from ones that are super shimmery, as these highlight fine lines) and apply with your favorite make-up brush or your finger. Just remember to be gentle and not pull on the skin – and blend, blend, blend. Other All4Women readers liked...

2. LIQUID EYESHADOW

You’d be forgiven for mistaking liquid eyeshadow for lip gloss, as the packaging and consistency is pretty much identical. While they may seem scary, they’re actually great for those without a flair for make-up as they are so easy to apply; simply swish the wand over the lid, and voila! Just be warned that it does dry pretty quickly, so you need to move fast. A great use for liquid eyeshadow is as the base for powder or pigments as they will stick to it, giving you a bolder look. WATCH: How to clean your make-up brushes 3. CREAM EYESHADOW This versatile formula is a pretty great one as it offers bold hues that are super easy to blend – just get your finger out and go wild. Cream eyeshadow does tend to crease, so you need to be careful with where you place it on the lid. If you’re worried about this, apply a primer first. Again, they make a great base for your powder shadows, but you may want to avoid cream shadows in very hot weather, as they can melt – and make-up running down your face is certainly not a good look!

4. STICK OR CRAYON EYESHADOW

s always, the beauty world can be a complex one, so you are certainly not alone if you feel bombarded and overwhelmed by the range of choices you have when it comes to products. Just have a look at the eyeshadows out there; not only are you having to select the colours and brand you want, but they’ve also decided to make eyeshadow in a variety of consistencies, just to confuse us! Well, not quite – there actually are some valid uses for the different types of eyeshadow, and we’re here to tell you about them and how to use them. You’re welcome!

These are ideal for keeping in your handbag for touchups throughout the day, as you don’t need a brush to apply them, and they go on super easily. They’re generally super pigmented so the colour will really pop, and they can even double up as an eyeliner if you’re looking for just a small pop of colour. Genius!

5. EYESHADOW PIGMENTS

These are fantastic for their colour

range and boldness, but can be a bit trickier and messier to apply. This is similar to powder shadow, but is far looser, so you definitely need a primer for it to stick. Alternatively, wet your brush before applying. If you’re wanting to really stand out, pigments will give you the best colour intensity of the lot, but just be careful not to drop pigment all over the rest of your face!

But in my opinion, hip hop is such a complex area that includes music, dance, art such as graffiti, fashion, and many other fields which There are a couple of reasons are connected with it, which why I decided to choose this still needs to be introduced topic for my thesis. One of these and therefore the aim of this reasons is that I have been thesis is to make the further listening to hip hop for many acquaintance of hip hop not years and it is nice to write a only as a musical style, but as thesis about something one is a whole phenomenon of hip related to. The second reason hop culture which has been is that when one says the word spreading among youth hip hop today, people usually especially through the media visualize some people festooned across the whole world. with spectacular jewellery rapping about becoming rich For a start, this thesis will define and successful. The truth is that and explain further the terms this is just what people can see hip hop and rap, will describe on TV today, but this kind of what these two words stand style and making music relates for, and also will make clear just to a fraction of all hip hop that there is a basic difference artists. In the upshot, it will be between them, although it does explained later, why this topic is not have to seem so at the first so popular among rappers. The sight. third reason is that I wanted to deepen my knowledge about In this study will be also the origin and the history of hip introduced and described hop and also about everything in detail the four essential that is an integral part of it, elements of hip hop culture – because that someone listens Djing, MCing, graffiti art, and to some kind of music, does b-boying – which each of them not necessarily mean that they existed separately for some time, know everything important that but whose combination was is connected with it. crucial for the birth of hip hop.

1. Introduction

In these days, hip hop surrounds us really everywhere, whether it is on TV in the form of movies, music shows, or commercials, on the radio, or just in the streets, where various public places age tagged, or when groups of young people make shows by breaking or rapping in front of randomly passing people in order to either make some money, or just have fun and show what they can do.

There will be also included information about the characteristics of hip hop as a musical style regarding on the one hand the music part and on the other hand the part of lyrics. This thesis will introduce some of the important and popular subgenres of hip hop, into which this musical style is divided, and which differ in their sound properties and the thematic focus of lyrics.

ROYAL ROUGE / OCTOBER 2018 / ISSUU.COM/ROYALROUGEMAGAZINE

It is also important to discuss the origin and the history of hip hop to be able to understand its development and also the point, to which hip hop got in recent years. In this display of history, which is about four decades long, will be included the dates of the significant events that somehow influenced and changed hip hop, or were important for its development such as releases of many influential and key albums and records, an information about successes and failures of various hip hop artists, and many other types of data, which are connected with hip hop culture. The causes and the course of the two major conflicts between American hip hop artists from either different cities, or even the opposite coasts such as The Bridge Wars in the 1980s and the East Coast vs. West Coast rivalry in the 1990s will be also mentioned. The last chapter of this thesis will occupy itself with several themes that very often become the topics of lyrics in a large number of American hip hop songs. There is always a reason, why a particular theme becomes popular or widely used among hip hop artists, and it is very important to know this cause, because it can be very helpful for understanding the lyrics that rappers use to create their songs. The reasons, why rappers chose the themes, which will be mentioned at the end of this study, will not be omitted too.

2. What is Hip Hop? There are several mistakes that circulate among people. For example, a lot of people think that hip hop is only a musical style and that hip hop and rap is the same thing. Therefore, I would like to explain some terms that are concerned with hip hop at the beginning of this study. Firstly, hip hop definitely is not only a musical style, it includes a large number of areas and music is just one of them. It is quite difficult to define hip hop because of its complexity, but there are several definitions of this phenomenon such as “a US pop culture movement originating in the 1980s comprising rap music, graffiti and break dancing”1 or a “ popular urban youth culture, closely associated with rap music and with the style and fashions of AfricanAmerican inner-city residents.”2 In my opinion, the most precious definition of hip hop can be found in Martin Fiedler’s Hip hop Forever: “Hip hop is a lifestyle with a developed and colourful culture, its own language, and fashion style, specific kind of music and thinking, which is constantly developing.”3 Another interesting opinion of what hip hop is, belongs to DJ and MC TC Izlam, who claims: “Hip hop is just a way of thinking, state of mind. To be a hip hopper means to think freely.”4

We all use all three learning channels.

For some reason, they feel compelled to exchange phone numbers.

Too often what begins as a cautious “hi...was thinking of u” turns into “i miss u” and then “can you meet again tomorrow?” And when it gets to that point, well, the whole thing becomes a lot harder to “delete.” Visit Debra Macleod’s private practice at MarriageSOS.com

Texting creates a false sense of intimacy between texters. Within weeks, they may feel
